Clear is used to re-initialise a set of data (fields,
arrays, data structures, record formats etc) to blanks for
alpha fields & zeros for numeric fields.
Reset is used to re-initialise a set of data (fields,
arrays, data structures, record formats etc) to it's
initial values set using the inz keyword.
When a file is defined as USROPN, you need to use OPEN &
CLOSE to (you guessed it) OPEN & CLOSE the file.
SFLNXTCHG is used when reading changed records in a subfile
using the READC opcode. The indicator is set on when the
data in the record changes.
For example, when you use READC to validate all the entries
in a subfile before updating or writing the data to a file,
the next time you use READC to perform the updates, you
wouldn't pick up the record you just validated without
reseting the SFLNXTCHG indicator as in the following:
(SFLNXTCHG is linked to indicator 85)
READC sflrec // read the first changed record
DOW not %EOF // process all changed records
Validate the record
*IN85 = *ON // Reset the SFLNXTCHG indicator
UPDATE SFLREC // Update it so that *IN85 sticks
READC sflrec // read the next changed record
ENDDO
now, when you readc to perform your updates, it will pick
up the records you validated in the previous loop
READC sflrec // read the first changed record
DOW not %EOF // process all changed records
update/write the data // read the next changed record
READC sflrec
ENDDO
